E N D
TOPIC: Energy AIM: Describe the five forms of energy. Do Now: Let’s go over the HW ditto http://www.brainpop.com/science/energy/formsofenergy/ HW: Periodic table Activity – Due Monday Reminders: - Chemistry Castle learning due Tuesday - Atom Drawing/Model due Friday - Chemistry test on Tuesday
Mechanical Energy Energy in moving things
Heat Energy Thermal Energy Energy in moving particles of matter
Most substances expandwhen their temp is increased Ex: Thermal expansion
1. Sidewalks have spaces bw squares of concrete bc concrete expandsin hot weather
2. Hot air balloons are heated. Its volumeincreaseswhich causes the balloon to expand.
Chemical Energy Energy that holds matter together (in bonds) H H O Bond
Electrical Energy Energy in moving electrons Can travel through a vacuum (no air)
Nuclear Energy Energy stored in nucleus of an atom
Mechanical Mechanical Heat
Flashlight = converts chemical energy (stored in the battery) to electrical energy to light the bulb. The bulb converts the electrical energy to electromagnetic energy. Toaster = converts electrical energy into thermal energy.
Car engine = converts the chemical energy stored in the gasoline into mechanical and thermal energy. Radio = converts electrical energy into sound energy. Human body = converts chemical energy stored in food into mechanical energy for a beating heart and moving muscles.
Let’s summarize… • Identify the 5 forms of energy. • What is another name for heat energy? • Describe what occurs to particles as temperature increases. • Describe what occurs to substances when their temperature increases? • Where is chemical energy found? How is it released? • Where is electromagnetic energy found? Give one example. • Where is nuclear energy stored?
Windmills are used to convert wind energy to a more useful form. In most cases, there are steps in this process. The energy is in a different form in each step.
